Notes
Effect: Mechanical cipher-decode kit. Slide-rule substitution ciphers, frequency-analysis templates, and pattern-matching wheels for breaking classical and pre-digital encryption. Grants +4 to Linguistics checks for breaking classical or pre-digital ciphers. Useless against modern Kadiss-encrypted traffic.
